Belly and Beyond Contract

Belly and Beyond Contract
This contract is to cover packages that include maternity and subsequent sessions (such as newborn, 3 month, 6 month and first year sessions.)
From the baby bump to the 1st birthday cake, the picture-perfect moments are seemingly endless. But with these precious moments come unpredictable schedules and at times, canceled shoots.
Whether you're starting out, shooting for free, or an experienced professional, the complexities can be intimidating and stressful!
That's why we created the Belly and Beyond Contract Bundle. It is extremely important to protect your business with clear and comprehensive photography contracts.
This bundle covers photography packages including any combination of the following sessions: maternity, newborn, sitting up, 3-6-9 months, and one year. *This does not include birth (view our Birth Bundle).
Our Belly and Beyond Contract is tailored to photographers just like you. Our team of lawyers and photographers at TheLawTog® develop, review, and approve every contract.
We think this is a pretty awesome combo—legal expertise and photographer know-how.
NOTE: This contract is appropriate for multiple sessions (as a collection), not one-off sessions. If you need a single session contract, check out our niche categories. While we do not offer a maternity category, our General Portrait Contract is a great option.
